Battlefield 1942 Server Manager Update
Black Bag Ops, creators or Battlefield 1942 Server Manager, have announced today what they are working on for the beta 4e release.
Quote from Black Bag Ops:
I am currently working on beta 4e which already sports the following new features;
· Added Clients dialog page to BxRM
· Added mod filtering in maplist
· Added support for a server “idle map”
· Added new “banned words” function
(kicks players with banned words in their player name or chat messages)
· Added support for console commands in the player menu
(can be used to kill a player)
· Added option to enforce single client logons
· Added option to shutdown server when BxSM exits
· Made player chat logging optional
· Added support for optional CSV admin log
(can be used with an external “why was I kicked/banned?” application)
I hope to release beta 4e to the testers sometime this weekend for a tentative release date of April 18.
I am interested in hearing how BF1942 and BFVietnam server admins are administering PunkBuster at this time and determining the level of interest in seeing a “PunkBuster” dialog page added to BxSM. If you have any thoughts to offer on this subject please post in this forum thread. Thanks.â€

Big Five Music Labels At It Again!
When will they get it? I have so many expletives that I want to throw at the music industry. Its enough to make me want to shut down the radio station because I pay for licensed Internet broadcasting, putting money in their pockets.
If you havent heard, they are already considering forcing the price of legal Internet singles downloads up to $1.25-$2.49. Morons! Give it a chance to take hold before you push everyone away. Youve already done everything you can to price gauge Internet Radio Broadcasters, now this! All I have to say is Karma. They will get what is coming to them.

FNF – BF42 Custom Map Review
I did not get a chance to play all the custom maps on Friday, so I wasnt able to provide a good review. Steping up to the plate this time around was Tman from clan {pdx} and |GRB| Sarge from our own Gamers Radio Battalion.
One thing I should point out is Close Combat was pulled from rotation due to an issue with the Axis spawn point. We hope to have it in our next Battlefield 1942 Custom Map Night on Friday, April 30th.

RED VS BLUE: BLOOD GULCH SEASON 1New D&D Titles on the way or April Fools Joke?
In a remote end of the galaxy, in an obsure community forum, word of three new D&D games was posted, albiet, on April 1st….. Hmmm. The poster claims it is no hoax and that poster is a part of Ataris Public Relations.
Here are the three new games.
NWN2 – Neverwinter Nights 2
BG3 – Baldurs Gate 3 (will I ever finish 2, darn you BFV!)
Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone – News to me….
There is no further information, but the thread is an interesting read. Lets hope there is some truth to this.
FNF – Custom Map Night
*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE MAP INSTALLER ***
The maps are in the downloads section. House of Hellsing was corrupt in the installer. If you downloaded it before 10:30 AM EST on 04/02/2004 or if you downloaded it from PlanetBattlefield, there is a seperate link to download House of Hellsing direct. Please grab both. This is the coolest new map in the list, so make sure you grab it. Thanks to Tman from {pdx} for letting us know.
Update Map pack has been recreated and is available for download. I apologize for this issue, seems the map file did not download all the way when I grabbed it last night. – ephil
